I'm sorry to hear about you losing your previous computer. I know that having something so personal taken from you can be very upsetting. Let's see if we can try to get your music back so that you can enjoy that.
If any of the music you had that was purchased from the iTunes Store, it is very likely that you can download it directly from the store again. Use the steps in this article - Download past purchases from iTunes.
Specifically -
On a Mac or PC
- Open iTunes.
- Click Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.

- Click your name and select Purchased from the menu.

- Click "Not in My Library" to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.

- Scroll to find the item that you want to download.
- Click the Download icon
in the upper-right corner of the item that you want to download. Your song downloads to your library.
If a song is already in your library, the Download icon won't appear.
You can, if you prefer, transfer your purchased music from your iPod classic to the new computer using the steps in this article - Redownload or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer.
Transfer your purchases to your computer
Before you transfer your purchases, make sure that your computer is authorized with the same Apple ID account you used to make the purchases. Learn how to authorize your computer using iTunes.
If you bought the iTunes Store content on your device using multiple Apple ID accounts, you'll need to authorize the computer for each one.
To transfer purchases from your device to a computer:
- Connect your device to the computer. Wait for its icon to appear in iTunes.

- Go to File > Devices.
If you're using iTunes for Windows and can't see the menu bar, learn how to turn on iTunes menus in Windows. - Choose Transfer Purchases from [device name].
This feature works only for content bought from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or received from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library.
If this helped you, please let us know so that others may benefit from your experience.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well.
